Look through PHIs to find additional register sources

- Teaches the ValueTracker in the PeepholeOptimizer to look through PHI
instructions.
- Add findNextSourceAndRewritePHI method to lookup into multiple sources
returnted by the ValueTracker and rewrite PHIs with new sources.

With these changes we can find more register sources and rewrite more
copies to allow coaslescing of bitcast instructions. Hence, we eliminate
unnecessary VR64 <-> GR64 copies in x86, but it could be extended to
other archs by marking "isBitcast" on target specific instructions. The
x86 example follows:

A:
  psllq %mm1, %mm0
  movd  %mm0, %r9
  jmp C

B:
  por %mm1, %mm0
  movd  %mm0, %r9
  jmp C

C:
  movd  %r9, %mm0
  pshufw  $238, %mm0, %mm0

Becomes:

A:
  psllq %mm1, %mm0
  jmp C

B:
  por %mm1, %mm0
  jmp C

C:
  pshufw  $238, %mm0, %mm0
